I have some info sheets that I will be handing out on Thurs evening/Friday morning that have all the required details for all destinations..

So must I buy my own tickets?
And at what time is the club entering the show in Boxtel on Sunday?
Try to be at the same time there then.
Gerard

No idea of arrival time maybe 09.00
I have asked for space for 30 + cars so say you are with the group of MG-Rover owners from the UK (this event is not supported by the owners club so it has not been booked as an official 75-ZT owners club event)
We can pay on arrival 5 euros each car as agreed with Olaf at the Classic park

I may of course just walk across the channel and spend the weekend here..

The GB that build into my rear plate is tiny - but they are approved plates so must be OK

Guess there wouldnt be any problem with me cutting the sides down to a more square shape for the GB sticker to fit without it covering part of the tail light. They don't have to be oval shaped do they?.

I cut mine down five years ago for exactly the same reason Rick, and it was stuck inside the spare wheel well of Mrs MB's car until yesterday.

I've liberated it from it's slumber and will be using it on Friday......I didn't have any issues with it not being oval last time I drove abroad

My chrome/rubber trim thingy has come off and the clips are gone.... lol.

If you mean these, Vinnie, I've got some on order and on the way to Son en Breugel (but via a UK address I have), the guy says you get "at least 10" for the price, but doesn't appear to send outside UK. Will certainly not be in before Boxtel though; certainly before end October. Talk to me on Sunday if you like (I'll be in in a NL Chatsworth 75 V8). Perhaps we can split the delivery, at what they cost me (I'm not greedy!) ?

Totally off topic, but yesterday I watched something like 600 WW-II vehicles, GMC trucks, bikes, Jeeps, staff-cars, half-tracks, Shermans heading up from the first of the 'Bridge too far' bridges along "Hells' Highway" from the 101st Airborne's landing site in the south of Holland up to (well, sadly almost) the Arnhem bridge.

Very impressive. Accompanied by a couple of Spitfires and a good few American, Canadian and British veterans still, and a whole load of younger "Screaming Eagles" that the 101st have sent over from the US for the 75th remembrance. Open-air concerts with 1940's Big-Bands, and huge banners saying "1944 Remember September". Super !

Another couple of hundred vehicles heading along the Highway on Wednesday, I see, so you may bump into them at the end of the Corridor in Arnhem on Saturday, if you're lucky.

Excuse me going way off topic! Moderate this out if you will

Sweet thanks. If Brian doesn't have any, we can still talk about the options. The link didn't work for me. It seems to link to a gmail URL, which sents me to my own Gmail account .
